TODAY'S RECIPE - CHOCOLATE CHIP ANGEL COOKIES
Submitted by Mrs. Wayne Roberts, New Ulm, MN ...Hard to tell which magazine I clipped out this recipe from, but in trying to find out who Mrs. Roberts is/was, I found that Mr. had died in 1999 at the age of 80 (didn't really go beyond that), and when inserting Mrs. Wayne Roberts in Google search, found that this recipe was also published in the book, The 47 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the World, so these must be good!
Makes 5 dozen - 350 degree oven
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup walnuts; coarsely chopped
1 pkg (6 oz) semisweet chocolate pieces
granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a small bowl.
Beat butter, shortening and sugars in large bowl until blended. Add egg, and beat well, then add vanilla. Add flour mixture and blend well. Stir in walnuts and chocolate pieces.
Roll dough into walnut-sized ball and roll in granulated sugar. Place about 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until firm to touch. Cool on wire racks.
